They chased a dying industry right off a cliff too.

INTERESTING

TEXANS INVENTED THEIR OWN AGRICULTURE

BASED ON ABUNDANCE OF LIGHT

BUT NOT OF WATER

@MRB WHICH INDUSTRY?

what do you have against the irish

WONDERFUL ILLUSTRATION

@diversity_is_racism DIY/component based parts for electronics. The industry moved to a more pre-made products. They tried, but had inferior built goods.

THE IRISH... A LOW-IQ, PART SEMITIC POPULATION THAT DONE NOTHING BUT DRINK, BLOAT THE DOLE AND WAGE WAR ON THE ENGLISH?

WHO COULD LOVE THEM

JAMES JOYCE WAS COOL THOUGH

@MRB INTERESTING. NO RASPBERRY PI FOR THEM.

I IMAGINE THERE IS A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF PARTS THAT PEOPLE NEED

AND IF TANDY HAD THE VISION

WELL, THEY DO NOT

HAHA

Exactly

b..but tiocfaidh ar... la...

Yeah most other states though just abuse aquifers to grow Luxury crops typically while rationing water to food production.

THE TRICK TO TEXAS

IS GETTING WATER OUT OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS

TO EVERYWHERE ELSE

AND ALSO OF COURSE

TO NOT GROW IN THE REALLY ARID REGIONS

@vry_o I OVERSTATE IT. THERE ARE SOME GREAT IRISH FOLKS. BUT GENERALLY THEY SHOULD BE ENSLAVED.

I ALSO FIRMLY OPPOSE MAINSTREAMING TRACE ADMIXTURE

@MRB I REMEMBER GOING THERE IN THE LATE 1990s: EXPENSIVE STEREO COMPONENTS, AND NOT-REALLY-STANDARD PC CLONES AT HIGH COST

I WAS THINKING, THESE GUYS HAVE OVERPLAYED THEIR "WE'RE A BIG CORPORATION SO YOU MUST USE US" HAND

radioshack still has the drawers with pots, fuses, and switches.. other odds and ends. but they stink on ice now

PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS NEED THOSE PARTS

THEY WILL ALSO NEED OTHER STUFF

RADIO SHACK WERE FOOLS TO MISS THE OBVIOUS MARKET

can South East Texas support the inputs needed across the state?

PEOPLE WHO NEED CABLES, CARDS, ETC. LATE AT NIGHT

IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN THAN ONE WOULD THINK

they nuked it all and went to cellphone merchants here, and closed about half of them

@༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻ IT IS HARD TO TELL WITHOUT DATA

MY GUESS IS "YES" OR "MOSTLY"

THE SOUTH PART OF TEXAS ALWAYS FLOODS
